--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
To repeat your idea you have a text "A" in A1 and "B" in A5, select A1 and pull
down to fill up to A10 and expect the duplication to consider existing content
rather overwriting it. (The STR differs intentionally from your range
selection)

Most users expect content to be overwritten, or rather are familiar with this
shortcoming of the function. So if this is going to be implemented it needs
some switch to activate, may it per modifier key (eg. ctrl/cmd), which works
only for the mouse interaction, or per on/off option.

Another question is how the double-click should work, see also bug 126189.
Meaning, if A1:10 has content and B1 contains "A" and B5 "B" does the switch
changes the current behavior (double click fills until B5) and all cells are
fill where adjacent columns have content.
